I hate it when things get in the way. I hate when something slows me down on the path that I am traveling. Think with me for a moment…you are in a HUGE hurry to get somewhere, you are riding along, you seem to be catching every light at the right time to flow on through, but then…you get stuck. You get stuck behind someone driving slowly, acting like they have not a care in the world! They are not in a hurry, they could careless about the speed limit because they are going slower than you could run! It is such an inconvenience, it is such a seemingly waste of time. We cannot get to where we want and/or need to be. We cannot accomplish what we want to and/or need to. It is frustrating! It simply gets in our way of where we want to go.
I will be honest and say that I have allowed things to get in the way. Sometimes I ask them to get in the way, sometimes I allow them to get in the way of my desire and passion. So many times I allow circumstances and situations to control me, well, not necessarily the situation, but maybe my thoughts and attitudes towards the situation. I know for me that there have been many times that I disagree with a decision, action, plan, etc. and sometimes when I disagree I allow my own displeasure to get in the way.
How about you, has this ever happened to you? Have you ever found yourself in a situation that you were not necessarily happy with and allowed that displeasure to get in the way of other things?
When I allow that to happen it is so selfish! My own desires are not more important that the situation at hand. It is my prayer that I remember that I serve a God who is capable and able to do everything without me. May I take a backseat and enjoy the ride of a lifetime in His will.
Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
May I be still and know that He is God, so that He can received the honor and the glory in my life!!
